hey guys, i know this mod has been done (and posted) to death but its my first engine mod so im really proud of my self
neway, i got a free pod filter off a mate of mine whos a mechanic and he installed it and gave me the parts all for free, unfortuetly he was working on a mates VL turbo as well at the time so after he wacked it on there was no time to make any heat shield or CAI for it, it was just to replace the air box...
so anyway i was driving around really stoked about how my car was now ultra cool thanx to my pod. But i knew that sumthing had to be done about the air flow coz it was just breathing in hot engine bay air...
so with what little money i had i went out and got sum piping to channle in some cold air from outside
i figured coz u can only buy the pipe in bulk, why settle for a single pipe when u can have two for twice the air!!
notice the zip ties holding the tubes in place? yeah, u can tell im on a very tight budget...
the first one goes around the batery and down undernieth the headlight
The second was a little tricky coz there wasnt enough room for it to go through the same holes as the first one, and i couldnt put it accross too the other side becouse the tube would proboly melt from the extracters and by the time the air gets from the other side to the pod filter it would either be too hot or too weak in pressure to make a diference. so the second tube runs down undernieth the engine bay...
and then through to the front bumper...
so now both pipes come out the front sucking in all the glorious cold air...
i even painted them to match the bumper, hopefully the jacks wont decide to put a yellow sticker on my car...
now i know there are numerous things wrong with it but i wanna hear all ur suggestions and flames as to what eles i can do to make it better... all i know is it is a lot better then before and it doesnt overheat as much as it did with out the piping
